Notes:
1. Clearance (a+b) depends on the floor load rating and clearance (c). See
rating and clearance requirements.
Leave clearance of 100 mm on both sides of the storage system when the stabilizer plate(s) are to
be attached after the storage system is installed. When stor age systems of the same type are to be
installed adjacent to each other, the minimum clearance between the storage systems is 100 mm.
2. Dimensions in parentheses show allowable ra nge of the floor cutout dimensions. Position the floor
cutout in the center of the storage system. The position may be off-center if the cutout allows
smooth entrance of an external cable. Check the relation between the positions of the cutout and
the opening on the bottom plate of the storage rack, and verify that it is within the allowable range.
3. This dimension varies depending on the floor cutout dimensions.

1. Clearance (a+b) depends on the floor load rating and clearance (c). See Table 2-4 for floor load
rating and clearance requirements.
Allow clearance of 100 mm on both sides of the storage system when the stabilizer plate(s) are to
be attached after the storage system is installed. The stabilizer plates have dimensions (H x W x D)
of 74 mm x 500 mm x 220 mm or 2.9 inches x 19.6 inches x 8.6 inches.
When storage systems of the same type are to be installed adjacent to each other, the minimum
clearance between the storage systems is 1 00 mm.
2. When installing a second rack, be sure to leave a 10-mm space.

Power Connection
The AC power input for the Universal Storage Platform VM has a duplex PDU
structure. This duplex structure enables the entire rack to remain powered on
in the event that power is removed from one of the two power distribution
panels (PDPs).
• Direct connection to power. Figure 2-9 shows the power connections
when the AC input lines are connected directly to the power facility.
• Power connection through UPS. Figure 2-10 shows the power
connections when half of the AC input lines are connected to an
uninterruptible power supply (UPS), and the other half of the AC input lines
are connected directly to the power facility.
Caution: When installing the USP VM, be sure to connect the AC cables
between the PDUs and PDPs correctly. If these cables are connected
incorrectly, a system failure will occur when one of the AC inputs is
interrupted.

Loudness
The acoustic emission values [loudness in dB(A)] for the Universal Storage
Platform VM storage system are:
Front/rear = 65 dB(A)
Both sides = 65 dB(A)
Vibration and Shock
Table 2-9 lists the vibration and shock tolerance data for the Universal Storage
Platform VM. The USP VM can be subjected to vibration and shock up to these
limits and still perform normally. The user should consider these requirements
if installing the storage system near large generators located on the floor
above or below the storage system. Generators or any other source of
vibration, if not insulated or shock-mounted, can cause excessive vibration
that may affect the storage system.

Installation Requirements 2-21

Operational Requirements
The operational requirements for the Universal Storage Platform VM include:
• LAN connection (or RJ-11 analog phone line) for Hi-Track
The Hi-Track maintenance support tool monitors the operation of the
Universal Storage Platform VM, collects hardware status and error data,
and transmits this data via LAN (or modem) to the Hitachi Data Systems
Support Center. In the event of a component failure, Hi-Track reports the
failure to the Support Center, with no action required on the part of the
user. Hi-Track enables most problems to be identified and fixed prior to
actual failure, and the advanced redundancy features enable the storage
system to remain operational even if one or more components fail.
• LAN for Storage Navigator
Hitachi Storage Navigator communicates directly with the Universal
Storage Platform VM via LAN to obtain system configuration and status
information and send user-requested commands to the storage system.
Storage Navigator serves as the integrated interface for all Resource
Manager components.
• Cable length for front-end directors
Table 2-10 lists the cable length requirements for the front-end directors
(FEDs) in the Universal Storage Platform VM.
®
• External storage
If you plan to attach external storage to the Universal Storage
Platform VM, be sure to include the appropriate power and space
requirements in your planning.
